Color polymorphic carnivores have faster speciation rates [PDF]
Scientific ReportsVariation in coat color is a prominent feature in carnivores, thought to be shaped by environmental factors. As new traits could allow populations to occupy novel niches and habitats, color polymorphism may be maintained by balancing selection ...

Color polymorphism in organic crystals. [PDF]
Commun Chem, 2020 AbstractColor polymorphism is an interesting property of chemical systems which present crystal polymorphs of different colors. It is a rare phenomenon, with only a few examples reported in the literature hitherto. Nevertheless, systems exhibiting color polymorphism have many potential applications in different domains, such as pigment, sensor, and ...

Colorful DNA polymorphisms in humans [PDF]
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2013 In this review article we summarize current knowledge on how variation on the DNA level influences human pigmentation including color variation of iris, hair, and skin. We review recent progress in the field of human pigmentation genetics by focusing on the genes and DNA polymorphisms discovered to be involved in determining human pigmentation traits ...

Crystal Growth & Design, 2022 Color polymorphism is a fascinating property exhibited by compounds that have polymorphs of different colors. The most famous family of substances forming molecular organic color polymorphs is the ROY family of compounds. ROY, which states for the red, orange, and yellow colors of the polymorphs of 5-methyl-2-((2-nitrophenyl)amino)thiophene-3 ...

Ontogeny of color development in two green–brown polymorphic grasshopper species
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Many insects, including several orthopterans, undergo dramatic changes in body coloration during ontogeny. This variation is particularly intriguing in gomphocerine grasshoppers, where the green and brown morphs appear to be genetically determined ...

PMEL p.Leu18del dilutes coat color of Kumamoto sub-breed of Japanese Brown cattle
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Coat color is important for registration and maintenance of livestock. Standard coat color of Kumamoto sub-breed of Japanese Brown cattle is solid brown, but individuals with diluted coat color have been observed recently.

Enclosure Background Preferences Differ between Sexes and Color Morphs in the Gouldian Finch
Animals, 2023 Most wild animals camouflage well into their environment, providing protection from predators, whereas captive animals often contrast with their background. This can cause stress for the animal, which may perceive it as being exposed.
